Biography
Beka was born in Yamu, Ptolemaic Egypt, and he was married to Isesu for several years, having one daughter, Urbi. His wife died in 48 BC, so Beka made an arduous journey to Memphis to obtain a papyrus copy of the Book of the Dead so that his wife would have instructions to make it through the Duat underworld to the Field of Reeds. However, several bandits from the Iment Nome stole his book, and Beka panicked, fearing that he would be unable to join his wife in the afterlife once he died. He enlisted the help of the medjay Beka with recovering the book, but he died of a heart attack before Bayek could return, as his worries got the better of him. He delivered the book to Beka's body in the small temple to ensure that Beka would have instructions on how to join his wife, and his daughter was grateful.
